This one is coming in pieces over the next couple weeks, but I've got the engine from Horseheads Pick-A-Part in Horseheads, New York. It was the only one on the lot, and if they'd been "following the rules", it would have been crushed nearly 100 days ago. Lucky me.

Along with the engine, and for the price of the engine/tax/core charge, I got the complete engine/transmission harness, power steering pump, alternator, EGR pump, both manifolds, O2 sensor, throttle body, etc. All that was missing was the ignition coil and spark plug cover/wires.

I didn't take pictures of the junkyard engine removal because it was quick and dirty, and would not have been good for a pictorial walk through. I will take pics as I remove the engine and other parts from my wife's L-series, though. I may just drop the whole subframe and replace the engine that way, or I may pull it out the top like I did with the replacement. Hard to tell at this point.
